Maybe they should come back when Lord Buddha in the world to track the development of monastic robes. In a conversation with the community, Candana Karuna, who was ordained in 2008 in the tradition of Zen Rinzai sect in Vietnam, and is a member of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship and Sakyadhita: Women Buddhist association Catholic world, started talking about the robes of monks and its changes in recent times. When Buddha decided to leave the temptations of life and become a monk alms (a left end of his property and live mainly of Buddhist offerings), he used the cloth cutout form a simple cloak wrapped around him. The cloth was collected, cut into small pieces, washed even dyed to last longer form a cloak or faded colors look darker. In Sanskrit, the same earthy colored fabrics are often called kashaya means that colors are not mixed or pure colors. Canadan Karuna said, she was everybody said that this color symbolizes ugliness, color challenge abandon cultural values.

During the period from when the enlightened Buddha and Dhamma teachings, religious robes no hierarchical distinctions and most are made according to traditional kashaya. However when Buddhist king Bimbisara difficulty in distinguishing the monks came from civilians, the Buddha has offered a gown designed each cell similar to the images of rice fields. From the time the first change, the project design for the religious outfit with the introduction of the three-storey clothing (Tricivara) was conducted. It consists of three parts, a bodice (uttarasanga), a robe inside the lower body (antarasavaka) and an additional outer coat (shangati) for keeping warm or the like. Later Buddhist robes have been many changes and different meanings of colors and designs to suit each country where Buddhism spread.

Theravada

Depending on the monastery and the lineage of each region as well as characteristics that vary greatly gown. Those who follow the Theravada tradition is to wear yellow, red or yellow soil technologies like Buddha wore before. The name comes from Sthaviriya Originally, one of the earliest Buddhist schools. Both outer and inner coat the underside of the Theravada Buddhist monks are made of many different pieces of cloth rather than from a single sheet.

Japan

Robes of the monks of Mahayana is the most diverse, mainly due to differences in geography and climate. The Mahayana monks of China, Korea and Japan are usually very simple robes. While the Chinese monk's clothes and Korea usually brown, gray or green, the Japanese monk dressed in black or gray. Japanese monks often a cloak when special prayers than their daily outfits, made from patches of silk brocade. This gown is designed in ancient Buddha's shirt, and looks like a mandala painting, shapes on it is said to symbolize the universe.

Tibetan

With rich Buddhist tradition, robes of Tibetan monks supposedly more colorful. Tibetan robe usually chestnut, simply because in the past this is the least expensive color dye. A basic outfit of a Tibetan monk dhonka (including a shirt wrapped around, inside the shirt maroon or maroon combination with blue), the shemdap (a long brown dress dark), chogu (a cloak more for the upper body), zhen (daily shawl chestnut), and finally namjar (a large silk used in the yellow or the ceremony that light yellow). The traditional hat made of Tibetan Buddhism brilliant than ever. Red hat was worn by the monks of the Red professor (Nyingma), and gold caps for the monks of the sect Hoang appearance (Gelugpas), here are two of the four sects of Tibetan Buddhism.
